A New York judge has said that he would lift a civil contempt ruling against former President Donald Trump on the condition that he pays a $110,000 fine to the New York Attorney General’s Office for not complying with a subpoena.

Judge Arthur Engoron said in a May 11 virtual hearing that a $10,000-per-day fine that was imposed on Trump in late April stopped accruing on May 6, when the former president filed court papers saying that he had taken steps to find documents in connection to Attorney General Letitia James’s investigation, according to reporters.
